Q-and-A With Award Winners

Who are your role models? Jon Abbott, soon to be the general manager at WGBH, is an extraordinary visionary in public broadcasting. He was the primary impetus behind the development of Team Approach [a software application that enables nonprofit organizations to organize and manage a great deal of detailed constituent information.] Chris Dann of Drakes Bay Fundraising is another role model. I’ve known Chris for nearly 25 years; he is an incredible strategist and has great insights into philanthropy.
